I took it out to the smallholdings and gravel roads, stopped and floored it while in 2WD and boy oh boy did I have my hands full to keep the beast on the road and out of the bushes!!!

I've got some nice pistols, I just need the ammo. Shotgun and rifle ammo is everywhere but the only hand gun ammo I have seen is for a 25 auto.

NOTHING and for the past 2 days too...damnit. Our plumbing backed up (kitchen sink and laundry only...no bathroom thank God) and it took two days with crazy acid like chemicals and a 75' snake/auger to break it free. Turns out the waste water main from my house to the sewer main does not have a good slope to it so waste water doesn't carry waste and garbage disposal junk with it very well. The cool thing though is now the water flows better than it ever has before. I guess I'll be a master plumber if I live here long enough.

Got home early from work and picked up the kids from school. Might go play in the snow a little later.

scoured the junk yard I am working at looking for an overhead console- searched all the xjs with no luck. Next I will check the grand cherokees and then resort to the caravans.

After researching, debating, and picturing I decided to go flareless. No pics cause I finished in the rain/dark. I took off the first one and it was the point of no return, which I'm cool with. I like the look and it was nice to clean behind em'(rust belt), w/ no signs of rust! Ended up using 1/4"x 1/2" long stainless philips head w/ a rubber washer and a lock nut. Then, some black door trim and it looks awesome! I'm a big Mad Max/Road Warrior fan, so I'm loving the looks of the stainless nuts/bolts. Gotta still deal w/ the lil' tab on the rear fenders. THANKS AGAIN CF!

Scored a set of Dunlop Mud Rovers 33x12.50x15 mounted on 10 inch wide black steelies with 3.75 backspacing and a 5th rim for my spare. One of my coworkers took them off of his wifes Wrangler because she did not like the ride. Yeah for me, I got the whole shebang for $400.

I sanded out the 2 surface rust blisters under the driver's side back window, and filled the areas with body glazing compound and sanded that down. Will fill and sand them a little more then mask and paint the area.

Bought new set of Bosch plugs and a valve cover gasket, will put those in over the weekend.
